An Echo of Glory: Tottenham Hotspur in the 21st Century

by Gareth Thomas

An Echo of Tottenham Hotspur in the 21st Century delves into the famous club's recent past to uncover how Spurs emerged from a stagnant period in the 1990s to once again compete for the game's highest honours. At the turn of the millennium, Tottenham were languishing in mid-table mediocrity, out of all the cup competitions and about to say goodbye to their star player. Just two decades later they had challenged for the league title, built one of the world's finest stadiums and come so close to the ultimate glory of lifting the Champions League trophy. But this story is not without its twists and turns. In this century, the club has been through some of its most testing times, as heroes have come and gone and the revolving door of managers has hardly stopped spinning. Gareth Thomas peels back the layers on the key characters that have left their mark on the club, bringing fresh perspectives and shedding new light on the issues and events that continue to shape the present and future of Tottenham Hotspur.

Essential reading for every Spurs fan!

I’ve absolutely loved reading this book and reliving both the glory and despair experienced in spades by Tottenham Hotspur over 23 chaotic seasons of football.

The author transports you back to the terraces for some of the most memorable matches of the past 20 years, where you can celebrate the highs and agonise over the lows one more time.

Although a must read for any spurs fan, you don’t need to be a lilywhite to enjoy this book. Any follower of football will appreciate following the seismic changes in the Premier League over the last 2 decades through the eyes of one of its most turbulent and exciting clubs.

I would highly recommend!
